Neurologist 's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your uncle's symptoms.

His symptoms are suggestive of migraine with vertigo. Normal CT scan is a good news, as it rules out major brain diseases, such as blood clots, tumors and infections.

He would benefit from medications such as beta blockers for migraine and betahistine tablets for giddiness.

We should also exclude vitamin B12 deficiency and anemia bu doing appropriate blood tests.

He can be shown to good neurologists in Lucknow or New Delhi.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
